A quick definition of aider by verdict:

Aider by verdict: When a legal document, such as a complaint or defense, is missing important information, it can be fixed by a trial verdict. This means that even if the missing information was not specifically mentioned in the document, the court can assume that there is enough evidence to support it. However, if the document is missing something very important, like the reason why someone is suing, it cannot be fixed by a verdict.

A more thorough explanation:

Aider by verdict is a legal term that refers to the cure of a defect in a legal pleading by a trial verdict. This means that even if the necessary facts were not specifically alleged in the pleading, the verdict can still be based on the presumption that the record contains adequate proof of those facts.

For example, if a plaintiff files a complaint that does not include all the necessary elements of a cause of action, but the evidence presented at trial proves those elements, the verdict can cure the defect in the pleading.

It's important to note that aider by verdict only applies to defects in pleadings that are not inherently defective. For example, if a plaintiff files a complaint that does not state a valid cause of action, a verdict cannot cure that defect.

Overall, aider by verdict is a way to ensure that a party is not unfairly penalized for a defect in their pleading if the necessary facts are proven at trial.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy
9:46
But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy
10:25
I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?

i'll allow it
